Greetings,
I'm deciding if I want to
get one of those monster fuel filters that is also a water separator, or just
stay with a normal fuel filter. The fuel drains on the RV-3 tanks are
pretty good, so I can't imagine taking off with any large amounts of water in
the fuel. I'm not exactly sure what will happen to a little water with a
fuel injection system though. That's the question- what happens if
about an ounce of water gets sucked up?
I've never had a water
related problem with any fuel injected car, and logically, it doesn't seem like
it would be a big problem. The way I see it, there would be a momentary
sag in power, and any water that didn't make it through the injectors would be
routed back to the tank. In other words, I don't see how there could be a
sustained loss of power with only a small quantity of water. Is that how
it works, or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Rusty
